Stem Cell Treatment for Heart Works Wonders with Arizona Resident
In the emergency room, one of the doctors saw Buck was going to Bangkok, Thailand and said disdainfully, ?stem cell therapy is a crapshoot,? but Buck Brumble, a 68 year old Arizona man felt differently. ?I lit into him, I knew it was going to help and he wasn?t offering a better alternative.? declared Buck.
Buck was suffering from congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to the body?s tissues. Congestive heart failure afflicts nearly five million Americans. The American Heart Association estimates that more than 266,000 people in the United States die each year due to congestive heart failure.
?I was getting weaker each day. I couldn?t walk anywhere, I needed to use my scooter when I went to the store,? Buck said.
Then, one day, a member of Buck?s fellowship/reading group called ?The Bookmen? told Buck about Vescell adult stem cell therapy, developed by Theravitae, an international company in Thailand, that specializes in treating heart disease patients.
Three months later, Buck was on his way to Thailand with hopes the stem cell treatment would help his weakened heart.
In March, 2007, Buck proceeded with the therapy, which used his own stem cells derived from an easy, painless 250cc blood donation. The adult stem cells were implanted into his heart in a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
Eight months later, Buck is glad he had the stem cell treatment. ?I?m blessed. Stem cells saved my life. I?m walking again. I was just able to build a new spice rack. My friends say my face has more color. I?m now enjoying every minute of every day. It definitely gave me a needed boost.?
Buck added, ?I truly believe this was a gift from God, and in the near future, adult stem cells will be curing more and more people with health problems. As for that doctor, who told me this was just a ?crapshoot?; it may be, but if it is, I WON!?
